Nice check list, there's more to project life than churning out tickets.

This is indeed two sides of the same coin. A good reminder that you need to pick the right approach depending on the context.

Or why I really hate the whole certification business. Especially for process and practice's related topics, this pushes the multiplication of brands and churches to sustain them. The right approach is almost always a blend of different influences and flavours.

Indeed, Kanban is massively misunderstood. This is unfortunate, this article does a good job explaining what this is about.

A good reminder that there is life outside of Scrum... I especially like the framing of Scrum as training wheels. When you learned biking you outgrew the training wheels, didn't you?

Interesting points about agile and lean approaches. In my view they tend to complete each other, that said the diagnostic of Scrum as practiced in most places today is not Agile is very true. So beware about what you're doing, is it folklore? is it dogmatic? or do you really apply values and principles?

Interesting approach regarding estimates. Might especially make sense combined with kanban like project management.

An advice I often give, it's nice to see the theory behind it well laid out like that.

Interesting musing on how different types of companies manage their projects. I'm glad to see there's less cargo-cult Scrum than I expected. I also find funny that Scrum is perceived as "heavy weight". :-D
